Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2524 - 1852: Amid Laughter and Conversation (Part 2)

The red wine is quite good, each bottle costing over a million.

At the banquet, Yang Junluo enthusiastically chatted with Bai Xiaosheng about gourmet food, occasionally raising his glass for a toast.

If it weren’t for Yang Xiaoyun’s previous mention of medical advice against drinking, you wouldn’t have guessed he couldn’t drink at all.

The wine flowed, and the dishes were savored.

Yang Junluo shifted the topic and finally got to the "main issue".

"Sheng, I heard from Xiaoyun that our Yang Family had a little misunderstanding or friction in business with some of your Huaxia Business Group members?"

Yang Junluo smiled as he spoke, sounding rather casual.

Bai Xiaosheng glanced at Yang Xiaoyun, who was admiring the color of the wine in his cup.

It wasn’t just "a few people" or a "small misunderstanding"—it was a commercial trap that nearly swindled most people on Bai Xiaosheng’s side!

"Sheng, our Yang Family also hails from Huaxia, sharing the same roots with you." Yang Junluo spoke with apparent sincerity, "I truly don’t wish to, nor can I bear, having any conflicts or friction with Huaxia merchants. After all, we all have black eyes and yellow skin, perhaps distant family from centuries ago. Don’t you think so?"

Bai Xiaosheng listened without reacting.

Seeing this, Yang Junluo continued, "Since this issue arose, I deeply regret it and have harshly criticized Xiaoyun. Even if our Yang Family did it unintentionally, we shouldn’t have any conflicts of interest with Huaxia merchants, right? I also don’t want the Huaxia Business Group to have any misunderstandings with our Yang Family. You, being the head of the group and future grandson-in-law of an old acquaintance of mine, are truly part of our family. Why not mediate on behalf of Xiaoyun, clarify the misunderstandings with those on your side, and make peace with everyone? After all, harmony brings wealth, wouldn’t you agree?"

Yang Junluo was actually asking Bai Xiaosheng to mediate the alleged conflict with the Huaxia Business Group.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying found this incredible.

It seemed that after all the flattering talk, Yang Junluo was finally revealing his "true intentions".

Bai Xiaosheng, being a junior before Yang Junluo and receiving such a cordial welcome, was supposed to intervene as per the elder’s request. But that would mean completely betraying his own people, becoming isolated.

If Bai Xiaosheng refused, Yang Junluo could go to Wei Tianhe, complaining, "Look at your future grandson-in-law, he completely disregards my request. All I asked for was a little favor to mediate!"

Then the Wei Family would have no reason to blame Yang Junluo.

Agreeing or not agreeing, it was a checkmate move for Bai Xiaosheng.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying glanced at Bai Xiaosheng with slightly grave eyes.

Yang Xiaoyun and his daughter also watched Bai Xiaosheng with flickering eyes.

Yang Yishan’s eyes even showed a hint of a sneer, seemingly eager to see Bai Xiaosheng’s dilemma.

Under everyone’s gaze, Bai Xiaosheng remained calm, even smiling slightly as he sipped his wine.

Everyone watched as Bai Xiaosheng savored his wine, nodded, and set down his cup.

"Old Mr. Yang, you made a mistake in your words just now." Bai Xiaosheng said slowly.

Yang Junluo was taken aback, then looked at Bai Xiaosheng with a half-smile, "Sheng, what did I say wrong?"

Lin Weiwei, Lei Ying, Yang Xiaoyun, and Yang Yishan all looked curiously at Bai Xiaosheng.

Eagerly talking, Yang Junluo couldn’t guess which line Bai Xiaosheng was referring to.

"Your first statement was wrong." Bai Xiaosheng smiled, "You said there was a small misunderstanding and friction in business between the Yang Family and some people in the Huaxia Business Group; that’s incorrect."

"Oh?" Yang Junluo frowned, deliberately glancing at Yang Xiaoyun, "Could it be that the misunderstanding isn’t small, or have you deceived me somehow?"

"I wouldn’t dare, father! Mr. Bai must have misunderstood!" Yang Xiaoyun laughed, "How could I not speak truthfully to father? After all, you’re sharp and discerning, not to be deceived easily."

Yang Xiaoyun intended to subtly accuse Bai Xiaosheng of causing discord between father and son, suggesting Yang Xiaoyun deceived his father, implying that Yang Junluo was senile and couldn’t distinguish truth from lies.

If Bai Xiaosheng persisted, the Yang Family would use this excuse to shut the Wei Family’s mouths.

Yang Yishan, being Yang Xiaoyun’s daughter, understood his father’s "linguistic artistry" and watched Bai Xiaosheng intently, wondering if he was clueless enough to step into the "trap".

Faced with everyone’s gaze, Bai Xiaosheng shook his head.

"What I mean is that there is no misunderstanding or friction between the Yang Family and the Huaxia Business Group at all."

Bai Xiaosheng’s words left Yang Junluo, Yang Xiaoyun, and Yang Yishan in a daze.

Even Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying exchanged a subtle glance.

Bai Xiaosheng continued to smile, "I don’t know what misunderstanding or friction Old Mr. Yang is referring to. If it’s about unfulfilled cooperation or unsigned contracts, then there’s no misunderstanding. In business, it’s great if agreements are reached, but it’s okay if not. Wouldn’t you agree, Old Mr. Yang?"

Such a "broad-minded" Bai Xiaosheng rendered Yang Junluo, Yang Xiaoyun, and Yang Yishan speechless for a moment.

Was Bai Xiaosheng so carefree he could overlook everything?

Could he really not care about the previous matters?

And what about the other Huaxia merchants? Could they also be so indifferent?

Being swindled by the Yang Family without resentment?

Yang Junluo and Yang Xiaoyun exchanged a bewildered glance.

"Ah, ah! Is that so... Huaxia merchants have such patience!" Yang Junluo awkwardly chuckled twice and tentatively asked, "But did the leaders over there in Huaxia have any particular instructions due to travel concerns?"

This seemed the only plausible explanation.

Perhaps because those Huaxia merchants were traveling as a group, they represented more than themselves and had to consider the bigger picture, swallowing their pride.

Yang Yishan had thought of this point, sneering secretly.

She had thought Huaxia people wouldn’t stop easily, didn’t expect it to fizzle out so simply.

They should have been harsher back then, extracting more from the Huaxia merchants...

Yang Yishan even felt a bit "regretful"—that they hadn’t been ruthless enough back then.

Facing Yang Junluo’s question, Bai Xiaosheng smiled, "Why would this matter trouble the leaders? I can handle it myself."

Bai Xiaosheng’s words were cryptic.

"Yes, right, Sheng can handle such matters. Since there’s no misunderstanding or conflict between our Yang Family and the Huaxia Business Group, that’s even better, haha. Come, let’s drink." Yang Junluo raised his glass.

Bai Xiaosheng also smiled and lifted his glass.

Just at that moment, someone stumbled in.

"Second Master, Old Master, there’s, there’s been an incident!" the person yelled.

Yang Junluo and Yang Xiaoyun initially froze, then became furious. With guests present, who would be so unruly to embarrass the Yang Family?

But upon seeing who it was, their expressions changed.

The newcomer was a steward, not one in charge of daily life, but tasked with business information processing and delivery.

Trained personally by Yang Junluo, he was ever steady and composed, especially in the presence of guests.

For him to act like this, it must be a major issue.

Yang Junluo, Yang Xiaoyun, and even Yang Yishan all stood up.

"Uh, Sheng, please stay here for a while. I may need to handle something." Yang Junluo told Bai Xiaosheng with a forced smile.

Bai Xiaosheng glanced at the flustered Yang Family members with a meaningful smile, "Old Mr. Yang, go ahead."

The three generations of the Yang Family didn’t delay further, hastily leaving the table with the steward who came to report.

The four left the dining room together.

Beside Bai Xiaosheng, Lin Weiwei watched the departing figures, then turned to Bai Xiaosheng and asked in a low voice, "Xiaosheng, could it be..."

Bai Xiaosheng grinned, lifted his glass, and said to Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, "Let’s enjoy our drink."

"Drink more, it’s over a million per bottle, fine wine indeed!"
